What We Do

The Soft Road is a platform for personal and cultural transformation. We develop and deliver programs that enrich participants’ Experience of Life.

We offer coaching, Vedic meditation teaching, public speaking, residential Retreats, specialised tools and techniques, to individuals and groups, with an emphasis on sustainable practices that support progressive change, in life and in work.

The centre of our work is the practice of Vedic meditation, but we might not always start there. Perhaps you already have a practice, or you need to build resources to be equipped to meditate consistently. At The Soft Road we meet each situation in the needs of the moment, to build a foundation for progressive change and creative action.

How We Work

At The Soft Road our aim is to empower creative action and enrich Experience of Life around the cultivation of five key elements:

Conditions for changeYour receptivity and capacity for change – doing different things

MindsetHow you see the world and your place in it

Relationship to selfThe most important connection you have

Building new capacitiesGrowth and development within the reach of us all

MeditationA foundation for personal transformation

We design our programs using these elements, and we support growth with ongoing training and consulting tailored to our clients’ deepening capacities over time. We stay with you and we create the right practical approaches that address different challenges and abilities as they emerge.

Our work and our programs provide new insights and learning on, among other topics:

As former business and technology executives, we understand the presence of overwhelm, the pressures and deadlines in modern life. We also know the joys of creative achievement. Our work is to balance these realities and so to foster the bright, active state of engagement that is the hallmark of the leading edge.

Who We Help

We find our clients are from diverse backgrounds, whilst having in common:

Strong appetite for change

Growing awareness that the quality of the journey is as important as the goal

Whatever their field or area of expertise, our clients often resonate as:

They engage The Soft Road as their partner for transformation, as individuals or as an organisation. Addressing personal and professional development as one, we work with our clients to help them both reach and enjoy ongoing higher levels of function and creativity.

We believe creative action exists in all fields and experiences of life. People thrive in creative action whether they are artists or in corporate leadership, beginners or masters.

Every day is a creative act when we take the lead in our own lives.

Happiness is not the absence of demands; it is the ability to meet them with stability and grace.
